Excerpt from Canned Foods: How to Buy, How to Sell; Statistical and Practical Information About the Canning Industry Several years ago I began to write and manifold a series of lectures for the information of about one hundred traveling and city salesmen employed by a large wholesale grocery house. For this house I was then a department manager and buyer. Some copies of these lectures were sent to personal friends. Soon requests for the series began to be received from them and their friends. I then printed on a multigraph several hundred sets of the series and distributed them to those wholesale grocers who sub scribed for them. Apparently this did not satisfy the demand, as, since then, I have had numerous requests for the series and suggestions that they be published in book form at a more pop ular price. These suggestions I concluded to adopt, hence this book. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
